ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave Is now our cook.
About eighteen months ago she became sickly and
had q cough and was confined to bed, and 1t was
thought that she had consumption. The treatment
by physicians failed to give relief. In December,
1884, n node or knot the size Of a goose egg formed
just above the pit Of the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for 8 or 9 months. One Of these
also formed under her arm,a and three on her back,
which discharged matter for n considerable time.
For six months Of this time she was confined to the
house and most Of tibet line In bed. The stomach often
refused food, by rejecting what she had eaten. She
used a great deal Of medicine, but failed to be cured.
1 bought one bottle Of your B. B. B. (made In Atlanta,
Ga.) aud gave 1t TO her and she commenced to i'm
prove. l then bought and gave 10 her three bottles
more,a and she continued to improve and In W omonths'
time her cough had ceased, her constitution strength
ened, appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she went to
work apparently healthy and fattened up greatly.
This woman had q Darried sister OF near same age
who was affected in precisely the same way and about
the same time. She had node or knot on pit of stom-
ach, back, etc. She did not take any B. B. B. and the
node on her stomach ate through to the cavity. She
continued to decline and wasted away, and finally
died.
These were two terrible cases Of blood poison-one
used b. B. B. and was speedily cured-the other did
not use 1t and died. 1t Is most assuredly a wonderful
blood purifier. I refer to merchants in this town.
Yours truly, WI I. ROBINSON.

EXHAUSTIVE CROPS. Farmers frequent
~ speak of this or that crop as being an
~''exhaustive CROP" Can they tell what
they mean by IN exhaustive crop? All
crops require a certain quantity of organic
and inorganic elements for their develop
ment, and all crops require the same ele-
ments only in different combinations. II
crops-any crops-are grown in the soil
without the application Of any Of the ele-
ments of their growth, the drain must be
wholly from the soil or atmosphere, and if
wholly removed, have exhausted the soil
to the extent of the amount required in
their growth; but to mention any par
ticular crop as being an exhaustive crop is
indefinite in its meaning.
In nature there is nothing that is lost or
of which it is exhausted; the element may
assume different combinations, but they
exist just the same though changed in
form. The operations of the farm are all
calculated to change the form Of the min
eral elements into such forms as to be
available in the development of animal
life, and he who can do this in the best
manner and in a way to leave his farm
still best adapted to continue the operation,
is looked upon as the best farmer.

CIIRE FOR TYPHOID FEVER.

Mr.. John R. Cox, a citizen Of Baltimore,
publishes the following communication in
the Baltimore american, OF that city:
"Some time since a gentleman Informed
me that he knew of several persons who
had been cured of typhoid fever, by the
application of mashed raw onions to the
feet. Two patients were so i'll that they
were not expected to live over a few hours.
Six large onions were pounded TO pulp
and applied to the feet of the first patient:
He was relieved in asshort time ana got
we'll. The second casgF was a few weeks
later and the result was equally satlsfac.
tory. The first opportunity l had L tried
it upon a colored boy during n of my
visits to the house of reformation for col
ored children. He was very i'll with ty-
phoid fever. l named the matter to Gen
eral Horn, who Immediately ordered the
application. In a few hours he got to
sleep; rested we'll and recovered. The
next opportunity was that of a son OF a
friend of mine in our city. l called to see
him on business when he informed me his
son was very ill with typhoid pneumonia.
He had been deliriOus for q week or more,
and required constant watching for fear
he mightdo himself harm. Iadvised him
to try the onions. He did so and thus
speaks of it: Immediately on its applica-
ton he began to improve and continued
until he finally recovered" Perhaps they
might be ef6cacious in other forms. The
remedy is simple and safe, and a trial IN
any case can do no harm. They have
cured dropsy. Mr.. Ralph Brunt, a very
respectable reliable gentleman, informed
me that his wife had suffered for q long
time with dropsy. She was sWelled from
her head to her feet. She was attended
by different physicians, who finally said:
Mr.. Brunt we can do no more; your wife
cannot live. We can give temporary re.
lief by tapping her. His wife declined
the operation, as it would but prolong her
sufferings. At this time his attention was
called to a paragraph in a newspaper in
which a gentleman made the statement
that he had been cured of dropsy by eating
onions. His physicians had told him that
he could not live. One day he wanted to
eat some raw onions and did 80. After
eating them he felt better and tried some
more. He then made it a rule to eat six a
day, and in a few weeks he was we'll. lie
felt it his duty to publish it for the bene-
fit of others. Thus Mr.. Brunt knew OF it.
He called the attention of his wife to it.
She was willing to try it; did so, and at
the end of one week discharged her nurse,
attended to her household duties, and was
so reduced in size that her friends could
scarcely recognize her at first sight. She
lived for more than thirty years afterward,
and died some two years ago over eighty
years of age. If the foregoing prove the
means of beneftting any one, the only
regret I will feel, will be that I did not
attend to the promptings of duty sooner"

A PREACHERS CAsE.-In a Georgia
city. lives a popular divine who is liked
by all classes. He is very fond of fishing
and hunting, and does not object to tell
ing q side splitting anecdote occasionally.
Here is one:
Once a party went fishing. There was
some snake medicine along, and one or
more of the party took too much aboard.
In the evening a terrific storm came up.
AS it was nearing the party, one, more pi-.
Gus than the rest, knelt down at the root
of a tree and began to pray for protection;
About the same time II of those who had
tapped the jug too often shouted: ,
hCome ahead, you blasted old cyclone!
Tear us all to pieces! Blow US to Halifax!
Hurrah for the United States and Kincha-
'~foonee!"
When he closed, the humble supplicant
at the root Of the tree raised his horrified
face<to heaven and cried:
"Oh, Lord, don't mind what that cor;
founded crazy fool is saying. He is blind
drunk, as YOU can see for yourself, and he
don't belong to the church, noway."

HARD ON THE COUNSEL The follow
ing experience of a Mississippi lawyer
was related by himself to the writer many
years ago. He said:
81 was defending a priscuer for horse.
stealing, and seeing no other means OF
defending him, under the circumstances,
I set up the plea of insanity. l argued it
at length, read many extracts from works
On. medical jurisprudence, and had the
patient attention Of the Court. The prose-
cutting attorney did not attempt to reply
to nv argument or co%ntrovert my authori-
ties; I seemed to have things my own
way, and whispered to the prisoner that
he needn't be uneasy. Then came the
judges charge, in which he reminded the
Jury that there was no dispute between
counsel as to the facts of the case. Indeed,
there could not have been, for several
witnesses had sworn positively that they
saw my client steal the horse. But con-
cluded the Court, the plea of insanity has
been set up, and I charge you, gentlemen
of the jury, that it should receive your
very grave and serious deliberation but
I must be allowed to say, gentlemen,
that for myself, upon review Of the whole
case, / can discover no evidence of insani-
ty on the part of the prisoner, except,
perhaps, in the selection of his COUNSEL"

The Hollow Eyed Citizen,s idea.

A hollow eyed citizen who had been re-

submcrging the Rambler in this brilliant
idea: s.I have a scheme, sir, for getting
the wires under ground, sir, that sub
NIT is worthy Of dignified consideration.
1t has but one imperfection. That one
imperfection is that it includes no device
for laying a conduit. Butt does provide,
/ may say, sir. in a simple and effective
way for getting the wires into the conduit
when once made. You may know-you
don'ts-wcll, / viii explain that a COM
plex system of drawing wires now pre-
walls, taking up room and making trouble.
Ny plan obyiates that. You are familiar.
my dear sir, with the strong antipathy
with which the ferret regards the rodent,
vulgarly called rat. By introducing a rat
into one of these miniature subterranean
tunnels, attaching a stout cord TO q fer
ret's caudle nopcndage and starting him
in Immediately after the departure Of the
rat, you can sec how readily the desired
result might be accomplished. Should
the ferret gain SO speedily upon the rodent
as to impcriI his safety and the success of
the enterprise, q slight retention on the
cord woaii fse.sesly aetain him. The rat
could be saved and used over again. -

Flirting In Spite Of Regulations.


Love laughs at treasury regulations as
well as at locksmths. Some time ago the
chief clerk of the treasury department.
issued an order prohibiting clerks from
visiting and promenadipg the corridors
during business hours. Prior 10 this regu-
lation the treasury girls spent consider
able time in visiting each other and III
walking leisurely around the corridors
with favorite masculine clerks. For q
time the new order osfectually suppressed
the abuse aimed at, as all persons found
visiting or walking about idly were re-
ported to the chief clerk. The order still
produces good results, yet many male and
female clerks with disposition for flirta-
ton have devised plan by which they
may enjoy promenade of mile without
being detected by the minions OF the CHIEF
clerk. The treasury building is about 5OO
by 200 feet in dimensions and is quad
rangular in form, with central wing
stretching from east to west, thus connect
ing the building into double quadrangle.
Two elevators, located in different corners
of the building, carry all comers from
floor to floor. The length of the corridors
of each story extended in a straight line is
full quarter mile and as there are four
stories we have full mile OF corridors,
forming with their tiled floors, frescoed
walls and vaulted ceilings most charming
promenade
To be found lettering on any particular
floor is to insure report and reprimand,
and repetition of the offense brings ad-
monition or suspension or discharge.
Some of the girls of the treasury are smart
as well rs pretty, and have devised plan
by which they may join each other and
their beaus without fear of the chief clerk
and his sentinels. Meeting at an APP
pointed hour and place, these couples will
promenade the entire length OF the corri-
doris of one floor, and then, taking separ-
ate elevators so as to avoid detection, will
proceed to the next floor and lcisurely
continue their "spooning" while they
make the circuit of its corridors. This is
repeated until they have traversed the
corridors of the four floors, when each
will repair to his and her proper division,
using both elevators for this purpose,
having walked mile, killed a half hours
time, "knocked out the eye of the chief
clerk" and had lovely time. Wash
